I SHOULDNT EVEN BEEN TALKING SINCE IF I HAVE SPENT 1/10TH AS MUCH ON MY TRUCK AS ON MY BOATS I WOULD BE AT PARISH LEVEL


THEY ARE A GREAT TIME, JUST DO YOURSELF A FAVOR OPEN A SECOND BANK ACCOUNT AND GET A SECOND JOB, OR SELL YOUR TRUCK....


BOATS ARE FUN BUT EVERY EXTRA MPH GETS EVER MORE EXPENSIVE...

MINES GOT A TT 532, ADN IM ALREADY GETTING USED TO IT AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE MORE POWER

As a side note I talked to some friends, they went down to destin for the 4th and he burned about 450 gallons of fuel. Bet that hurt the pocket book.
